Subject: Arthur C. Clarke interview from 2002

Dave,

[For IP if you like]

In the spring of 2002, my colleague Alan Greenberg and I did an
interview with Arthur Clarke at his home, in his "Ego Room" I think,
in preparation for its showing at INET 2002, the Internet Society
Conference held in Washington the summer of that year.  It was
Professor V, K, Samarayanake ("Professor Sam") who was instrumental
in persuading Clarke to permit the interview.

We discussed his career, science fiction predictions, and a fair
amount about the Internet.  We had tried to arrange a video hookup
for him to be the keynote speaker at the conference, but that wasn't
going to work, and since we were in Sri Lanka on mission, we decided
to try to arrange the interview.

We got him on a very good day (a previous visit the year before did
not work well) and he was interesting, lucid and funny.   Sri Lanka
Television taped the whole thing professionally.  We did a little
editing, and it's now 32 minutes long.

I'd be delighted if someone with the right equipment would be willing
to convert the tape and post it on YouTube.  I have a copy of the
original tape in PAL format, in addition to the derivative NTSC
version on VHS; either would be good.  Would any of your readers have
the equipment and the time and be interested in doing that?   I can
deliver either tape to FedEx within hours.

Regards,

George Sadowsky
